I’m sad today as some birds in the garden have a horrible disease (canker) that can be passed on through birds sharing a feeding station. I’ve had to take my feeders in for a while. It breaks my heart to see them suffer. 😢 @NewarkPrimary https://t.co/PSKq4MK7gN

A rustling in the undergrowth last night revealed that hedgehogs are now awake. Please don’t give them milk to drink, it is not good for them. 😃🦔 @NewarkPrimary https://t.co/5LrdIpCVXL

High drama on the water this morning. The birds are all getting a bit feisty with the mating season on its way. The swans are not impressed with the Canadian geese. It is a bit like watching a soap opera! 😂 @NewarkPrimary @nature_scot

Isn’t this wee bird beautiful! He is a redpoll. Unfortunately only has one tail feather. We were trying to rescue him to get him checked over but had no luck. They are not normally ground feeders but his balance is all off at the moment.

I found this little guy trying to come into our house last night. A Common Newt, also known as a Smooth Newt. We had a wee look at him and then returned him to the garden. Isn’t he cute! 💕 @NewarkPrimary @nature_scot @NewarkP7_b

Very excited - saw an otter over the weekend. 😃 @JoeBlyth5 @NewarkPrimary @NewarkP7_b https://t.co/0J0qjgVPaY

Some Roe deer on my walk this morning. Can you spot them? @NewarkPrimary @P1bNewark2020 @JoeBlyth5

Heard a woodpecker hammering away on my walk this morning. 😃 https://t.co/edYxMVtI8B

Another bird song for you today. This time it is a Robin. ❤️ @P1bNewark2020 @NewarkPrimary

Who'd have thought snow was with many of us just two weeks ago...?❄️☃️ This mistle thrush was really appreciative of this apple. Fruit can be left out for badgers, foxes and birds. Cut it in half and leave on grass or spike on a branch https://t.co/zmMRPbv4Gq #MakeSpaceForNature

A bit longer than yesterday - 1.7 miles. 😃 Lots of birds singing but I managed to get one on its own. You might not be able to see this Coal Tit but you can certainly hear it. Saw the resident Kestrel too. ❤️

Not a long one this morning but I did see the most beautiful fox. 🦊❤️ #InverclydeSchoolsMove @P1bNewark2020 @ActiveSchoolsIC @JoeBlyth5

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

An early start for me this morning. Lovely to hear the birds singing. 😃#InverclydeSchoolsMove @ActiveSchoolsIC @JoeBlyth5 @P1bNewark2020

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

A wet one this morning! A bit of a shock after yesterday. 😮 #InverclydeSchoolsMove @ActiveSchoolsIC @JoeBlyth5 @P1bNewark2020

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

Just a wee walk this morning due to a pulled muscle. 😢 BUT look how light it is before 7 o’clock! 😃@JoeBlyth5 @ActiveSchoolsIC #InverclydeSchoolsMove

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

There might not have been much wildlife on my run this morning but there is still plenty of action on my bird feeders. I don’t think I need to put out any water today! 🤣

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

I’m not sure that Rosco enjoyed our run this morning! I think he would have rather been sheltering out of the rain, like the wildlife. @JoeBlyth5 @ActiveSchoolsIC @P1bNewark2020

[@NatureAtNewarkPrimary @NatureAtNewark1]

A walk with Rosco this morning. It was a bit wild when I went out but I can see a bit of blue sky now. 😃 #InverclydeSchoolsMove @JoeBlyth5 @P1bNewark2020 @ActiveSchoolsIC
